Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil and natural gas exploration, in particular to an explosive release device. Background Art

[0002] During oil drilling, stuck drill bits are the most common drilling accident. In many cases, we cannot simply rely on moving the drill bit up and down, using a jar to jar it up and down, or soaking it in oil to unstuck it. Especially when foreign matter or differential pressure causes drill bit sticking in the well, most of these situations manifest as maintaining normal mud circulation, but the drill bit cannot move up and down or rotate in the well, that is, the stuck drill bit is completely stationary in the well. In this case, explosive loosening technology is an effective solution to the stuck drill bit accident encountered during drilling. This technology uses blasting at the drill bit stuck point, using the instantaneous high temperature, high pressure, and shock wave generated by the explosion to produce elastic deformation at the drill bit joint, thereby opening the joint without damaging the drill bit, and achieving the purpose of quickly releasing the drill bit above the stuck point.

[0003] In the disclosed related technologies, there are also dedicated explosive loosening devices, but the overall production and operation are complex, which increases the difficulty and cost of explosive loosening when the metal pipe string is stuck during oil and gas well construction. For this reason, we provide an explosive loosening device. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0032] According to the concept of this application, Figure 1 This article describes an embodiment of an explosive loosening device for resolving drill pipe sticking accidents during drilling operations. Specifically, the device is constructed as an integrated structure, comprising three components: an upper joint 1, a union nut 8, and a connecting rod 18. This device can loosen the threads of the drill pipe joint at the moment of explosive detonation, achieving the purpose of back-threading at that point. This significantly reduces the difficulty and cost of explosive loosening operations, improving timeliness and efficiency.

[0033] Combine Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides an explosive release device, comprising:

[0034] The upper connector 1 has a hollow cavity formed inside, a buffer assembly is provided in the hollow cavity, a sealing pin 11 is installed at the center of the bottom end of the upper connector 1, and a pan head screw 10 is threadedly connected at an eccentric position at the bottom end of the upper connector 1;

[0035] A union nut 8 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom end of the upper joint 1. The bottom end of the union nut 8 is threadedly connected to the detonator cavity body 13. An electric detonator 12 is installed inside the detonator cavity body 13. One leg wire at the top of the electric detonator 12 is connected to the sealing pin 11, and the other leg wire is connected to the pan head screw 10. The lower end of the electric detonator 12 is connected to the detonating cord 20. The lower end of the detonator cavity body 13 is threadedly connected to the sealing plug joint 14;

[0036] The connecting rod 18 is threadedly connected to the inside of the sealing plug joint 14. The bottom end of the connecting rod 18 is threadedly connected to the explosive rod 19. The bottom end of the explosive rod 19 is threadedly connected to the rod tail 22. A channel is opened inside the connecting rod 18. The detonating cord 20 extends to the outside through the channel and is wrapped around the outer surface of the explosive rod 19. A protective cap 21 is provided at the end of the detonating cord 20.

[0037] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the upper joint 1 is a multi-stage columnar body with an inner buckle provided at the upper end. The upper end is connected to the magnetic locator through the inner buckle. Through the positioning effect of the magnetic locator, the entire device can be transported to the first drill pipe joint thread above the stuck point.

[0038] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the buffer assembly includes an insulating sleeve 5 installed inside the hollow cavity, an insulating cap 3 is installed on the top of the insulating sleeve 5, an elastic retaining ring 2 is installed between the top of the insulating cap 3 and the hollow cavity, a contact 4 is installed inside the insulating cap 3, and the contact 4 extends to the inside of the insulating sleeve 5, the bottom end of the contact 4 is connected to a compression spring 6, the bottom end of the compression spring 6 is connected to a pad 7, and the compression spring 6 and the pad 7 are both located inside the insulating sleeve 5.

[0039] When the upper connector 1 is connected to the magnetic locator, the contact 4 is in close contact with the elastic pin at the lower end of the magnetic locator to realize power conduction. After that, the current passes through the contact 4, compression spring 6, pad 7, and sealing pin 11 in sequence, and finally transmits the current to the electric detonator 12, thereby achieving the purpose of detonating the electric detonator 12, because one leg wire of the electric detonator 12 is connected to the core rod of the sealing pin 11, and the other leg wire is connected to the upper connector 1 of the device, which is equivalent to the positive and negative poles of the electric detonator 12.

[0040] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, a core rod is installed in the center of the sealing pin 11 , the top of the core rod is in contact with the pad 7 , and a leg wire of the electric detonator 12 is connected to the core rod in the sealing pin 11 .

[0041] It should be noted that the sealing pin 11 is a standard electronic component that is temperature-resistant and pressure-resistant. After being installed on the instrument, it can ensure that the insulation resistance between the core rod of the sealing pin and the instrument casing reaches more than 500MΩ, ensuring good current transmission.

[0042] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, a first sealing ring 9 is installed between the outer surface of the upper joint 1 and the detonator cavity body 13, and the number of the first sealing rings 9 is two. The provision of the first sealing ring 9 can enhance the sealing performance between the upper joint 1 and the detonator cavity body 13, thereby facilitating the formation of a closed cavity inside the detonator cavity body 13.

[0043] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, a sealing plug body 15 is provided at the center of the sealing plug joint 14, a central hole inside the sealing plug joint 14 is provided with an inclined step, and the detonating cord 20 passes through the sealing plug joint 14 and the sealing plug body 15, and a gasket 16 is connected to the bottom of the sealing plug body 15, and the gasket 16 is located at the top of the connecting rod 18.

The fastening screws 17 are provided to enhance the connection strength between the connecting rod 18 and the sealing plug joint 14.

[0045] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the explosive rod 19 is a metal rod, and the rod tail 22 is set to be a cylindrical shape with an inverted cone at the lower end. The specific material of the metal rod is ordinary 45 steel. The metal rod plays a supporting role. Wrapping the detonating cord on the metal rod can prevent the detonating cord 20 from being scattered. The rod tail 22 plays a protective and guiding role. During the process of going down the well, the rod tail can prevent the detonating cord 20 from rubbing against the well wall. At the same time, the inverted cone design makes the overall device go down the well smoother.

[0046] Specifically, when it is needed, first use the inner buckle at the top of the upper joint 1 to connect with the lower end of the magnetic locator, then lower the device from the inside of the drill pipe into the well through the logging vehicle cable, and according to the pre-measured drill string stuck point position, through the positioning effect of the magnetic locator, transport the device to the first drill pipe joint thread above the stuck point, pull the drill tool and apply sufficient counter-torque, and then supply power to the electric detonator 12 through the logging cable core, the metal bridge wire inside the electric detonator 12 heats up and detonates the electric detonator 12, and the detonating cord 20 is detonated when the electric detonator 12 explodes. Since the high-speed impact force is instantly generated at the joint thread when the explosive explodes, the friction and self-locking property between the thread teeth disappear instantly or are greatly reduced, so that the joint thread is loosened under the action of the pre-applied counter-torque, thereby achieving the purpose of loosening the buckle at this point.

[0047] The explosive release device provided by the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0048] An explosive release device, comprising:

[0049] The upper connector 1 has a hollow cavity formed inside, a buffer assembly is provided in the hollow cavity, a sealing pin 11 is installed at the center of the bottom end of the upper connector 1, and a pan head screw 10 is threadedly connected at an eccentric position at the bottom end of the upper connector 1;

[0050] A union nut 8 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom end of the upper joint 1. The bottom end of the union nut 8 is threadedly connected to the detonator cavity body 13. An electric detonator 12 is installed inside the detonator cavity body 13. One leg wire at the top of the electric detonator 12 is connected to the sealing pin 11, and the other leg wire is connected to the pan head screw 10. The lower end of the electric detonator 12 is connected to the detonating cord 20. The lower end of the detonator cavity body 13 is threadedly connected to the sealing plug joint 14;

[0051] The connecting rod 18 is threadedly connected to the inside of the sealing plug joint 14. The bottom end of the connecting rod 18 is threadedly connected to the explosive rod 19. The bottom end of the explosive rod 19 is threadedly connected to the rod tail 22. A channel is opened inside the connecting rod 18, and the detonating cord 20 extends to the outside through the channel and is wrapped around the outer surface of the explosive rod 19.

[0052] The working principle and usage process of the utility model are as follows: when it is needed, first use the inner buckle at the top of the upper joint 1 to connect with the lower end of the magnetic locator, then lower the device from the inside of the drill pipe into the well through the logging vehicle cable, and according to the drill string stuck point position measured in advance, through the positioning effect of the magnetic locator, transport the device to the first drill pipe joint thread above the stuck point, pull the drill tool and apply sufficient counter-torque, and then supply power to the electric detonator 12 through the logging cable core, the metal bridge wire inside the electric detonator 12 heats up and detonates the electric detonator 12, and the detonating cord 20 is detonated when the electric detonator 12 explodes. Since the high-speed impact force is instantly generated at the joint thread when the explosive explodes, the friction and self-locking property between the thread teeth disappear instantly or are greatly reduced, so that the joint thread is loosened under the action of the pre-applied counter-torque, thereby achieving the purpose of loosening the buckle at this point.
